Maybe someone will deliver an actually-good TMNT movie in 10 years or so. I'll be there if they do. As for this, though -- once bitten, twice shy.

Don't worry, Bry. I'm fine if it's just you and me abstaining. You're good company. And I don't really see anything worth getting excited over, either. Marginal improvements over the first one? Yippee. I'm thrilled. Same emphasis on "Kaboom!" (and what does "Kaboom" have to do with TMNT in the first place?), same sh*tty CGI, same cartoon caricatures instead of "characters".... it's not TMNT to me. Just a big dumb action movie with a TMNT veneer.

It's okay, you and I can start a club. I vote we call it the "We Have Higher Standards For Movies Than We Did When We Were 8 Years Old, And That Should Be Okay" Club.

But yeah I'mma pass. It's every single thing I was expecting. Newp.
